title: Draft Genome Sequence of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strain 43-16836, Belonging to the Indo-Oceanic Lineage, Isolated From Tuberculous Meningitis in Thailand.
abstract: We present the draft genome sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain 43-16836, belonging to the Indo-Oceanic lineage, isolated from a tuberculous meningitis patient in Thailand. The genome is 4,381,942 bp long with 4,316 protein-coding genes and contains new single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including SNPs of genes that may encode cell wall components and possibly influence virulence.
